Hi,
This is my first build from scratch and I would appreciate some help.
I am planning to use this PC to play some new gen games and I would like some decent performance. I am not planning on overclocking but let me know your opinions and if you think I am overlooking anything in my build, specially with the PSU.
Approximate Purchase Date: 2-3 weeks
Budget Range: $1200-1300 total
System Usage from Most to Least Important: playing some new gen games and some 3d modelling
Are you buying a monitor: No, already have 1440p monitor
Parts to Upgrade: Looking for a complete new build
Do you need to buy OS: Yes, but not included in budget
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Amazon
Location: Scotland, UK
Parts Preferences: Looking for a i5 Skylake CPU
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution: 2560 x 1440
Additional Comments: quiet PC preferred, decent performance running new games
Why Are You Upgrading: Current PC is too old and needs to retire
The build I am planning is:
CPU
Intel Core i5-6600 3.3GHz Quad-Core Processor
Motherboard
Asus H170-PRO ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
Memory
Kingston HyperX Fury Black 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-2133 Memory
Storage
Samsung 850 EVO-Series 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card
MSI Radeon R9 390 8GB Video Card
Case
NZXT S340 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply
SeaSonic G 550W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply
Is this a decent set up? Any suggestion are appreciated, but I am trying to keep the cost similar to this one.
Thanks for reading my post.
